报告题目:Beyond expression : unravelling the complexities of the subcellular biology
报告摘要:Biological systems function through intricate regulatory networks that extend far beyond simple changes in protein abundance. These networks operate across multiple layers of multi-omics control, encompassing non-coding RNA regulation, post-transcriptional and post-translational modifications, and dynamic subcellular localization—many of which depend on the interplay between proteins and RNA molecules. A comprehensive understanding of these multi-layered systems is essential to fully elucidate biological processes.
Adding to this complexity, many proteins carry out unrelated, "moonlighting" functions, with subcellular location often serving as the key driver of which function a protein performs¹. These alternate roles are shaped heavily by a protein's biomolecular interactions and modification status.
This presentation emphasizes the importance of studying proteome-wide responses to cellular perturbation through the lens of spatial redistribution, rather than abundance alone—an exclusive focus on the latter risks overlooking critical cellular responses². I will present methods for capturing protein localization as a function of isoform identity and post-translational modification status³,⁴.
I will also explore how RNA-protein interactions shift dynamically during key cellular transitions⁵, and introduce a novel methodology enabling simultaneous, whole-cell mapping of both protein spatial distribution and RNA transcript localization⁶. Using this approach, I will demonstrate the coordinated translocation of RNA and protein during activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR), offering new insight into RNA trafficking to stress granules under cellular stress.

报告题目:The Immunopeptidome: What We See, What We Miss, and Where to Look Next
报告摘要:Immunopeptidomics has fundamentally transformed our ability to directly characterise the repertoire of peptides presented by HLA molecules, providing an unprecedented window into immune recognition in health and disease. Technological advances in mass spectrometry, bioinformatics, and high-throughput sample processing have enabled the identification of hundreds of thousands of HLA-bound peptides across diverse biological systems, accelerating discoveries in cancer, infectious diseases, autoimmunity, and transplantation.
Despite this progress, current immunopeptidomic investigations capture only a fraction of the antigenic landscape. Most studies remain focused on classical HLA class I molecules analysed from tissue specimens, while other dimensions of antigen presentation remain comparatively underexplored. These include soluble HLA complexes, non-classical HLA molecules, temporal changes in antigen presentation induced by therapy or disease progression, and context-dependent immunopeptidomes that may reveal biologically and clinically important information inaccessible through conventional approaches.
Expanding immunopeptidomic analyses across molecular, spatial, and temporal dimensions is increasingly revealing previously hidden antigen repertoires and challenging established assumptions regarding antigen presentation. These advances are reshaping our understanding of immune surveillance, broadening opportunities for biomarker discovery, and enabling the identification of novel targets for immune intervention. Continued integration of emerging technologies and biological models will be essential for constructing a more complete map of the immunopeptidome and realising its full potential across biomedical research and precision medicine.

报告题目:细胞表面蛋白质组分析策略 A Systematic Toolbox for Cell Surface Proteomics Analysis
报告摘要:细胞表面蛋白质组在细胞通讯、信号转导及病原体侵染中发挥核心作用,但其高特异解析仍面临挑战。本报告中将介绍我们开发的系列细胞表面蛋白质组分析策略,包括针对细胞表面可成药靶点的鉴定建立了化学蛋白组组学策略GASF(Global Analysis of Surface Functionality ),绘制迄今最大细胞表面赖氨酸反应性图谱,发现多个位于相互作用界面的高反应性功能位点。针对病毒受体发现,开发了酪氨酸酶介导的细胞表面蛋白快速生物素化和富集策略TYRCSL(Ultrafast Tyrosinase-Mediated Biotinylation of Living Cell Surface),实现活细胞表面超快速、低毒性标记和高效富集,成功鉴定PODXL2、CNTNAP1和GPR39为甲型流感病毒入侵必需的新受体。进一步发展的LiFT(Living Cell Surfacome Lysine Footprinting)策略,通过分析细胞表面赖氨酸可及性变化,实现组学级别配体诱导构象变化图谱绘制,为广泛发现细胞表面配-受体功能提供了新策略。
The cell surface proteome (surfaceome) plays a central role in cellular communication, signal transduction, and pathogen infection; however, its high-specificity analysis remains challenging. In this report, we will present a series of cell surface proteome analysis strategies developed by our group. For the identification of druggable surface targets, we established a chemoproteomic strategy named GASF (Global Analysis of Surface Functionality), which generated the largest to-date reactivity map of cell surface lysine residues and revealed multiple hyper-reactive functional sites located at protein-protein interaction interfaces. For the discovery of viral receptors, we developed TYRCSL (Ultrafast Tyrosinase-Mediated Biotinylation of Living Cell Surface), a tyrosinase-mediated rapid biotinylation and enrichment strategy that enables ultrafast, low-toxicity labeling of live cell surface proteins. Using TYRCSL, we successfully identified PODXL2, CNTNAP1, and GPR39 as novel receptors essential for influenza A virus entry. Furthermore, we developed the LiFT (Living Cell Surfacome Lysine Footprinting) strategy, which maps ligand-induced conformational changes at the proteome level by analyzing changes in lysine accessibility, providing a new strategy for the widespread discovery of cell surface ligand-receptor functions.

报告题目:Decoding the endogenous GPCR proteome and interactome
报告摘要:G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) mediate signal transduction across cell membranes and represent a major class of therapeutic targets on the cell surface associated with various human diseases. Due to their transmembrane topology, poor stability and low membrane abundance, most of GPCR proteins are under-detected in conventional proteome profiling studies. Moreover, weak and transient interactions between GPCRs and other cell membrane proteins are even more difficult to capture especially for the endogenous receptor in a native context. To address these challenges, we have been developing experimental and bioinformatic workflows tailored to GPCR proteome and interactome mapping in cells or tissues natively expressing these membrane receptors. Deep and quantitative profiling of the GPCR proteomic distribution and dynamics led to the discovery of several potential targets for the treatment of psychiatric or metabolic disorders such as depression and obesity. Interrogating GPCR interactome by ligand-directed proximity labeling identified new functional regulators of receptor-mediated signaling and responses in physiologically relevant cells.

报告题目:3D Immunopeptidomics to Cure Cancer
报告摘要:The quest for a definitive cancer cure hinges on the immune system's ability to discriminate between "self" and "non-self." This presentation explores how advanced 3D immunopeptidomics may revolutionize our understanding of T cell recognition. By leveraging high-resolution mass spectrometry and AI-powered tools like MHCBooster, we have achieved unprecedented coverage of the immunopeptidome, moving toward single-cell and spatial resolution. A primary focus is the discovery of fusion neoantigens in pediatric cancers. Our research demonstrates that in-frame fusion oncoproteins, such as ETV6-RUNX1, provide stable, targetable signals that are processed and presented as "non-self" to T cells. However, effective immunotherapy requires a holistic view; thus, we introduce the first Immunopeptidome Atlas to define the "self" landscape. This data reveals that the proximity of tumor peptides to the self-background dictates immune responsiveness and escape. Furthermore, we delve into 3D structural immunopeptidomics to quantify TCR cross-reactivity and cross-talk. By integrating these structural insights, we envision to better predict beneficial cross-reactivity, as seen in successfully treated melanoma patients. Ultimately, understanding the dynamic composition and stability of the self-immunopeptidome provides a roadmap for the next generation of personalized cancer vaccines and T-cell therapies.

报告题目:活细胞中蛋白质折叠与相互作用解析新技术 Technology for Studying Protein Folding and Interactions in Living Cells
报告摘要:在细胞微环境中,蛋白质通过动态构象变化与特异性相互作用组装成功能复合物,从而精确调控其生物学功能。为了在接近生理状态的细胞功能微环境中解析此类动态过程,原位化学交联质谱技术(in vivo XL‑MS)已发展成为一种有效的研究工具,能够对细胞内蛋白质复合物进行动态构象分析,进而精确解析蛋白质相互作用网络的时空组织特征。为实现对蛋白质复合物在细胞微环境中时空动态性的精准表征,高通量揭示其在生理与病理状态下的组装界面,我们研制了一系列新型、高生物相容性、细胞渗透性的多功能交联剂,建立了兼具高选择性与高回收率的交联肽段生物正交富集方法,以及高可信度的交联肽段鉴定策略。这些技术显著提升了原位交联分析的覆盖度与精准度,成功实现了在活细胞乃至原代细胞中可靠捕获瞬时的、低丰度的蛋白质相互作用。
在此基础上,我们将原位交联的应用由细胞水平进一步拓展至复杂组织水平,构建了适用于脑组织等高度异质环境的低扰动交联体系。脑组织内神经元与胶质细胞类型多样、突触连接密集,且蛋白质构象与互作状态对外界干预极为敏感,如何在保留天然微环境的前提下最小化处理过程带来的构象扰动,是组织原位解析的关键。我们发展的策略在保证交联效率的同时,有效维持了蛋白复合物的天然构象与原位互作状态,从而实现了小鼠不同脑区蛋白质相互作用图谱的系统解析。我们以阿尔茨海默病(AD)模型小鼠不同月龄(3、6、12月)为对象,分别对海马、皮层及丘脑等关键脑区进行原位交联分析,揭示了蛋白质相互作用网络随月龄增长的特征性演变规律及不同脑区之间互作模式的显著差异。这些高置信度的原位互作数据,为理解神经退行性病变中的区域易感性提供了分子层面的参考,也验证了该技术在解析复杂组织异质性方面的适用性。
通过整合基于邻近标记的细胞器靶向富集技术,我们进一步将蛋白质相互作用图谱的分辨率提升至亚细胞尺度,并以PTEN在化疗应激下发生核质穿梭的过程为例,系统刻画了其互作网络的时空动态变化。此外,我们还开发了可同步实现富集与定量分析的交联体系,成功解析了砷酸钠刺激下应激颗粒的组装与重塑过程,发现了大量此前未报道的高置信度互作。综上,我们开发的 in vivoXL‑MS平台能够在空间与定量维度上解析动态蛋白质相互作用网络,实现了从细胞到组织的跨越,为在生理相关背景下研究细胞适应、应激反应及相关分子机制,提供了一个高保真、高空间分辨率的原位相互作用分析工具。
Proteins assemble into functional complexes through dynamic conformational changes and specific interactions, thereby regulating biological functions. To analyze these processes in near-physiological cellular environments, in vivo chemical cross-linking mass spectrometry (in vivo XL-MS) has become an effective tool for characterizing the spatiotemporal organization of protein interaction networks. To enable precise analysis of the spatiotemporal dynamics of protein complexes and high-throughput identification of their assembly interfaces under physiological and pathological conditions, we developed a series of multifunctional cross-linkers with high biocompatibility and cell permeability, established a highly selective and efficient bioorthogonal enrichment method for cross-linked peptides, and devised a high-confidence identification strategy. These advances significantly improved the coverage and accuracy of in vivo cross-linking analysis, enabling reliable capture of transient and low-abundance protein interactions in living and primary cells.
We further extended in vivo cross-linking from cells to complex tissues by developing a minimally perturbative cross-linking system for highly heterogeneous environments such as brain tissue. This strategy preserved the native conformations and interaction states of protein complexes while maintaining cross-linking efficiency, enabling systematic analysis of protein interaction maps across different mouse brain regions. Using an Alzheimer’s disease (AD) mouse model at 3, 6, and 12 months of age, we analyzed key brain regions including the hippocampus, cortex, and thalamus, revealing age-dependent changes in protein interaction networks and distinct interaction patterns among brain regions. These high-confidence in situ interaction data provide molecular insight into regional vulnerability in neurodegeneration and demonstrate the utility of this approach for studying heterogeneity in complex tissues.
By integrating organelle-targeted enrichment based on proximity labeling, we further improved protein interaction mapping to the subcellular level. Using PTEN nucleocytoplasmic shuttling under chemotherapeutic stress as an example, we characterized the spatiotemporal dynamics of its interaction network. We also developed a cross-linking system for simultaneous enrichment and quantitative analysis, and used it to resolve the assembly and remodeling of stress granules under sodium arsenite stimulation, identifying many previously unreported high-confidence interactions. Overall, our in vivo XL-MS platform enables spatially and quantitatively resolved analysis of dynamic protein interaction networks from cells to tissues, providing a high-fidelity and high-resolution tool for studying cellular adaptation, stress responses, and related molecular mechanisms in physiologically relevant contexts.

报告题目:标准物质作为AI-Multiomics时代的公共标尺 Reference Materials as a Common Ruler for the AI-Multiomics Era
报告摘要:三十年来,多组学研究一直将原始仪器响应信号——荧光强度、片段计数、峰面积——作为浓度的替代指标。这种“无标尺测量”的错误做法,导致模型无法将微弱而真实的生物学信号与显著的批次效应、实验漂移或平台差异区分开来,跨研究时彻底失效。我们提出在数据产生的源头解决问题的实用方案:在每个批次中共同检测通用标准物质,并将测量结果表征为样本与标准物质的仪器响应信号比值(SRRs, www.nature.com/collections/ibadeahigd)。SRR将不可重复的仪器响应转化为可比、无量纲的AI就绪数据,使得可泛化的虚拟细胞与AI驱动的生物医学成为可能。
For 30 years, multiomics has reported raw instrument responses—fluorescent intensities, fragment counts, peak areas—as surrogates for concentration. This flawed practice of measuring without a ruler results in models that cannot distinguish subtle, true biological signals from large batch effects, laboratory drift, or platform differences—causing them to fail catastrophically across studies. We propose a practical fix at the data generation stage: co‑profile a common reference material with study samples in every batch and report all measurements as sample‑to‑reference ratios (SRRs) of instrument responses (www.nature.com/collections/ibadeahigd). This transforms irreproducible instrument responses into comparable, unitless quantities—inherently AI‑ready. The SRR approach makes generalizable virtual cells and AI-driven biomedicine possible.

报告题目:从MAQC‑II到AI多组学:生物标志物开发中的教训 / From MAQC‑II to AI-Multiomics: Lessons Learned in Biomarker Development
报告摘要:2010年,FDA主导的MAQC‑II项目通过大规模国际协作,系统评估了基因表达谱生物标志物开发与验证中的常见实践。核心发现包括:模型预测性能取决于生物学问题本身的难度;样本量与问题难度的相互作用决定模型成败;批次效应普遍存在,直接导致模型泛化性差;内部交叉验证严重高估外部验证性能;不同数据分析团队的模型性能差异悬殊。这些教训对于当今的AI多组学时代仍有借鉴作用。我们呼吁:纳入公共标准物质并采用样本‑标准比值(SRR),开展独立外部验证,根据问题难度合理设计样本量,并强化团队的分析规范与可重复性训练,以实现真正可泛化的生物标志物。
In 2010, the FDA‑led MAQC‑II project systematically evaluated common practices in the development and validation of microarray gene expression‑based biomarkers through a large‑scale international collaboration (www.nature.com/collections/tlrcqxrcdx). Key findings include: model predictive performance depends on the intrinsic difficulty of the biological question; the interplay between sample size and problem difficulty determines success or failure; batch effects are pervasive and directly lead to poor model generalizability; internal cross‑validation substantially overestimates external validation performance; and model performance varies widely across data analysis teams. These lessons remain relevant for today’s AI-multiomics era. We call for: incorporating common reference materials and reporting sample‑to‑reference ratios (SRRs), conducting independent external validation, designing sample sizes according to problem difficulty, and strengthening team‑level analytical rigor and reproducibility training—to achieve truly generalizable biomarkers.

报告题目:从数字孪生到虚拟细胞:人工智能驱动的精准医疗范式转变 From Digital Twins to Virtual Cells: An AI-Driven Paradigm Shift in Precision Medicine
报告摘要:本报告将立足于人工智能与临床医学的交叉前沿,探讨从宏观“医疗数字孪生(Digital Twins)”向微观“虚拟细胞”演进的创新性概念与应用前景。数字孪生是通过整合多模态生物学组学与真实世界临床数据,为物理实体构建的动态数字副本;而“虚拟细胞”则是在此基础上的微观延伸,代表着对生命基本单元运行机制的数学化表达与复杂生物学网络模拟。本次报告将阐述如何利用智能体(AI Agents)等前沿技术驱动虚拟实体的自主进化,实现对从个体到细胞的生理机制、疾病演变进程以及生物治疗响应的高保真模拟与可靠预测。通过在虚拟空间中预演临床决策,本报告将进一步探讨如何加速复杂疾病的机制破解与靶向药物研发,最终推动实现由数据驱动的全生命周期精准医疗。This presentation will focus on the intersection of artificial intelligence and clinical medicine, exploring the innovative concept and application prospects of the evolution from macroscopic healthcare digital twins to microscopic virtual cells. Digital twins construct dynamic digital replicas of physical entities by integrating multimodal biological omics and real-world clinical data. Building upon this concept, virtual cells represent a microscopic extension, providing mathematical representations of the functional mechanisms of fundamental units of life and simulations of complex biological networks. This presentation will discuss how cutting-edge technologies, such as AI agents, can drive the autonomous evolution of virtual entities, enabling high-fidelity simulation and reliable prediction of physiological mechanisms, disease progression, and therapeutic responses from the individual level to the cellular level. By rehearsing clinical decision-making in virtual space, this approach may accelerate the mechanistic understanding of complex diseases and the development of targeted therapeutics, ultimately advancing data-driven, full life-cycle precision medicine.

报告题目:单细胞空间组学基准评价体系研究
报告摘要:基于单细胞空间组学的AIVC研究飞速发展,但单细胞空间组学数据全链条的标准化和质量控制严重滞后,突出表现为四大瓶颈:实验流程因平台而异、缺乏可溯源的标准参考物质、数据分析缺乏统一算法评估框架、数据解读缺乏可重复的生物学判据。现有工作缺乏涵盖数据生产、算法评估、指标体系的统一评价框架。这些障碍导致跨研究结果难以比较,技术的重复性、鲁棒性,灵敏度等问题严重制约了方法创新应用与临床转化。因此,建立可扩展的单细胞空间组学基准评价体系,系统评估数据分析流程,完善数据解读,提升实验质控流程的标准化对于加速方法创新,推动新技术的广泛应用,促进可信任,可解释,可泛化AIVC及其临床转化具有重要的科学价值和实践意义。

报告题目:Multi-omics Integration and Computational modeling of Transcriptional Isoform Diversity in Human Diseases
报告摘要:Elucidating the molecular mechanisms through which non-coding genetic variants influence human diseases remains a major challenge in human genetics. Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified thousands of disease-associated loci, the functional consequences of most non-coding variants remain poorly understood.
We have established a multi-omics analytical framework that integrates population-scale genomic and transcriptomic data from both bulk and single-cell datasets to investigate genetic regulation of transcript isoform diversity. Focusing on alternative polyadenylation (APA) at 3′ UTR, we constructed a comprehensive 3′ alternative polyadenylation quantitative trait locus (3′aQTL) atlas across human tissues, providing mechanistic insights into approximately 16% of GWAS risk loci through transcript-level regulatory effects.
To further expand our understanding of transcript isoform regulation, we recently developed DATTSS, a computational method for the precise quantification of alternative tandem transcription start site (TSS) usage in large-scale transcriptomic datasets. Application of DATTSS to pan-cancer cohorts revealed widespread dysregulation of alternative transcription initiation (ATI) during tumorigenesis. Building upon this advance, we extended our previous 3′aQTL framework to characterize the genetic regulation of ATI and established a comprehensive 5′ alternative transcription initiation quantitative trait locus (5′aQTL) framework. Applying this framework to 15,201 samples across 49 human tissues, we identified nearly 400,000 5′aQTLs and generated the first large-scale atlas of genetic effects on transcription initiation. Integrative analyses with disease GWAS datasets further revealed 614 disease-associated loci linked to ATI regulation, including the OSGEP locus, where genetically regulated transcription initiation is associated with breast cancer susceptibility.
Our work demonstrates how robust quantification of transcript isoform diversity, combined with multi-omics integration across tissues and cellular contexts, enables systematic interpretation of non-coding genetic variation. By connecting genetic variants to both transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulations, these resources provide a comprehensive computational framework for dissecting disease mechanisms and advancing functional interpretation of human GWAS signals.

报告题目:面向AI虚拟细胞的蛋白质组学质量控制与标准化:从可比数据到可持续演进的参考图谱
Proteomics Quality Control and Standardization for AI Virtual Cells: From Comparable Data to an Evolving Reference Atlas
报告摘要:AI虚拟细胞的构建依赖大规模、跨平台、跨实验室且可长期复用的高质量多组学数据。蛋白质组学能够直接反映细胞和组织的功能状态,但其数据同时受到样本前处理、色谱与质谱平台、采集策略、数据分析流程以及仪器漂移等多因素影响,因此标准化不能简单等同于统一某一套实验步骤,而应围绕数据的可比性、可解释性和长期价值建立完整框架。本报告将结合π-HuB蛋白质组学技术标准化工作,介绍分层、模块化、可验证且可持续演进的标准化思路,重点讨论元数据、质量控制、参考物质、benchmark及数据分级使用等关键环节。
AI virtual cells require large-scale, cross-platform, cross-laboratory multi-omics data that remain comparable and reusable over time. Proteomics directly captures cellular and tissue functional states, yet its measurements are strongly affected by sample preparation, LC-MS platforms, acquisition strategies, computational workflows, and instrument drift. Standardization therefore should not simply mandate a single protocol; it should establish a complete framework centered on data comparability, interpretability, and long-term value. Drawing on the π-HuB proteomics standardization program, this talk will present a tiered, modular, verifiable, and continuously evolving framework, with emphasis on metadata, quality control, reference materials, benchmarks, and fit-for-purpose data grading.

报告题目:大规模自身抗体图谱分析技术研究与应用
Large-scale Autoantibody Profiling in Human Disease Populations
报告摘要:群体蛋白质组学正在推动生命医学研究从个体分子测量走向大规模人群健康与疾病图谱构建。然而,当前研究多聚焦于循环蛋白丰度,而人体生物学中一个关键层面——免疫记忆——仍未被充分解析。自身抗体作为免疫系统对内源性蛋白识别、放大和长期维持的分子记录,可反映抗原暴露、组织损伤、免疫紊乱和疾病演变。因此,自身抗体反应组代表了群体蛋白质组学的新维度。本报告介绍 AAgAtlas 蛋白质组芯片大规模自身抗体谱分析平台。该平台整合人体自身抗原知识库、工业化蛋白质组芯片、自动化血清检测和 AI 驱动的数据分析流程,具有高灵敏度、高特异性、高重复性、高通量、低样本消耗和临床检测兼容性等优势。

Population proteomics is reshaping biomedical research by enabling large-scale molecular mapping of human health and disease. However, most current studies focus on circulating protein abundance, while a critical biological layer remains underexplored: immune memory. Autoantibodies provide an amplified, durable, and interpretable record of immune recognition, reflecting antigen exposure, tissue damage, immune dysregulation, and disease evolution. Thus, the autoantibody reactome represents a new dimension of population proteomics.
Here, I present AAgAtlas, a proteome microarray-based platform for large-scale autoantibody profiling in human disease populations. AAgAtlas integrates a human autoantigen knowledge base, industrialized proteome microarray fabrication, automated serum detection, and AI-powered image recognition and data analysis. The platform shows high sensitivity, specificity, reproducibility, throughput, low sample consumption, and compatibility with clinical assays such as ELISA and CLIA.
Using AAgAtlas, we generated high-dimensional autoantibody fingerprints across infectious disease, immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, rare autoimmune diseases, cancer immunotherapy, and clinical biomarker translation. Representative applications include SARS-CoV-2 humoral immunity assessment, IMID autoantibody atlas construction, shared and disease-specific target discovery, organ-of-origin mapping, relapsing polychondritis subtyping, lung cancer immunotherapy response and irAE prediction, and Elafin biomarker translation for psoriasis.
Together, these studies demonstrate that autoantibody profiling can reveal immune mechanisms, classify disease heterogeneity, guide therapy selection, and support clinical translation. Finally, I introduce the Human Autoantibody Reactome Project, or HARP, as an international initiative to build a global autoantibody atlas for precision medicine.

报告题目:Systematic evaluation of blood contamination in nanoparticle-based plasma proteomics
报告摘要:Circulating blood proteomics enables minimally invasive biomarker discovery, though the influence of protein identification depth and sample contamination in nanoparticle-based workflows requires further clarification. We developed OmniProt, a silica-nanoparticle workflow optimized through systematic evaluation of nanoparticle types and protein corona parameters, alongside an Astral spectral library covering 10,109 protein groups. This pipeline identifies 3,000–6,000 protein groups from human plasma at high throughput. Observations indicate that platelet, erythrocyte, and coagulation-related contamination artificially inflates protein counts and affects quantification accuracy. Controlled experiments identified specific biomarkers for such contamination, leading to the development of Baize, an open-access software for assessment. Validation in a cohort of 193 patients with benign nodules or early-stage lung cancer successfully flagged contaminated samples, highlighting the importance of contamination control for reliable nanoparticle-based plasma proteomics.

报告题目:Plasma proteomics in 6,000 individuals resolves genetic setpoints, physiological dynamics, and a cross-etiology liver fibrosis panel 6,000人群血浆蛋白质组学揭示遗传调控、生理动态及跨病因肝纤维化标志物
报告摘要:Plasma proteomics offers a powerful window into human physiology and disease, yet robust interpretation requires careful consideration of quantitative accuracy, sample handling, and population-level biological variation. In this talk, I will present results from a population-scale plasma proteomics study of more than 6,000 individuals. I will describe how the plasma proteome is organized into distinct layers of biological variability, shaped by both genetic regulation and physiological processes, and how these features enable accurate prediction of multiple clinical traits. I will also highlight how population proteomics can uncover mechanisms linking genetic variation to liver disease biomarkers and support the development and validation of clinically relevant biomarker panels. Finally, I will share recent observations on the impact of blood collection and sample processing conditions on plasma proteome composition, illustrating how pre-analytical variables influence proteome measurements and affect biomarker discovery and cross-cohort comparability.

报告题目:Blood pQTL Analysis of Autism Spectrum Disorders
报告摘要:Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition characterized by substantial clinical and molecular heterogeneity, posing significant challenges for diagnosis and therapeutic intervention. Although large-scale genetic studies have identified numerous ASD-associated variants, the molecular mechanisms linking genetic variation to disease phenotypes remain incompletely understood. In particular, the extent to which genetic factors influence circulating proteins and contribute to ASD pathogenesis has yet to be systematically investigated.
In this study, we performed an integrative protein quantitative trait locus (pQTL) analysis using blood samples from individuals with ASD and their family members, as well as neurotypical controls. High-resolution mass spectrometry–based proteomic analysis was combined with genome-wide genotyping data to identify genetic variants associated with alterations in circulating protein abundance. By mapping cis- and trans-pQTLs, we sought to elucidate the genetic architecture underlying proteomic variation and to uncover molecular pathways implicated in ASD. Furthermore, integrative analyses incorporating known ASD risk loci enabled the prioritization of candidate proteins that may mediate the effects of genetic variation on disease susceptibility.
Our analysis revealed multiple protein-associated genetic variants linked to immune regulation, synaptic signaling, and neurodevelopmental processes. Several pQTL-associated proteins overlapped with previously reported ASD susceptibility genes, highlighting potential mechanistic connections between inherited genetic variation and downstream biological functions. These findings demonstrate the utility of blood-based pQTL analysis for bridging genomic variation and proteomic phenotypes in ASD and provide a valuable framework for the identification of novel biomarkers for ASD.

Spatial visual proteomics / 空间可视蛋白质组学
报告摘要
Spatial multi-omics has drawn tremendous attention recently due to its powerfulness for unbiasedly and systematically discovering biomolecules with spatial resolution. Among them, spatial transcriptomics have been well exemplified and applied for exploring various biological systems with tissue heterogeneity. However, because of the requirement for processing limited amount of tissue slice samples and high sensitivity for LC-MS analysis, spatial proteomics has been largely lagged behind. In this talk, I will demonstrate our development of a fully integrated proteomics sample preparation technology SISPROT which could efficiently process nanogram level tissue slice sample for removing the staining dyes, protein digestion, peptide desalting, and TMT labeling. By further combining with multi-color immunohistochemical (IHC) imaging investigation, well-defined proximity labeling with single-cell resolution at centimeter scale, and automated laser capture microdissection, we achieved high-sensitive spatial visual proteomic analysis of formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue slice. Importantly, we systematically applied the spatial visual proteomic approaches to explore the tumor microenvironment of pancreatic cancer with high cell type heterogeneity.

AI-driven spatial omics research / 人工智能驱动的空间组学技术研究
报告摘要
近年来,单细胞及空间组学技术已成为解析组织异质性和复杂细胞相互作用的前沿工具。然而,这类新兴组学数据具有复杂的信息密度和昂贵的实现成本,传统技术手段难以用于全面挖掘解析生物组织复杂组成特征和功能规律。为此,我们专注于“人工智能驱动的空间组学技术研究”,通过深度融合先进的AI计算框架,建立了一系列极具创新性的生物信息学解构方法,旨在全面厘清组织的组成和功能异质性。在单细胞信号解构方面,我们建立了胞外小囊泡异质性追踪算法SEVtras,首次以细胞外尺度描绘了不同类型细胞的生理活动状态;在空间组学方法创新方面,我们开发了针对组织切片的AI驱动正交降维采样和重构方法,大幅拓宽了空间多组学测量的技术瓶颈,实现了全组织切片水平的高分辨率空间蛋白质组检测。本次汇报将以全新的纯计算视角,重点分享我们在人工智能驱动空间单细胞组学信息解码领域的思路与突破。我们期望这些工作能够显著提升空间单细胞组学的解析深度与广度,为本领域提供AI计算驱动的高性能解析框架,相关成果发表于*Cell, Nature Methods*等国际知名期刊。
In recent years, single-cell and spatial omics technologies have emerged as cutting-edge tools for dissecting tissue heterogeneity and complex cellular interactions. However, these emerging omics data feature high information density and costly implementation, making it difficult for traditional techniques to fully mine and resolve the complex composition and functional patterns of biological tissues. To address these challenges, we focus on AI-driven spatial omics research. By deeply integrating advanced AI computational frameworks, we have established a series of highly innovative bioinformatics single-cell and spatial resolving methods, aiming to comprehensively clarify the compositional and functional heterogeneity of tissues. Regarding single-cell signal deconvolution, we developed SEVtras, a tracking algorithm for extracellular vesicle heterogeneity, which maps the physiological activity states of diverse cell types at an extracellular scale for the first time. In terms of spatial omics methodological innovation, we developed an AI-driven orthogonal dimensionality-reduction sampling and reconstruction method tailored for tissue sections. This approach significantly overcomes the technical bottlenecks of spatial multi-omics measurement, enabling high-resolution spatial proteomics detection across entire tissue slices. From a purely computational perspective, this presentation will highlight our insights and breakthroughs in the field of AI-driven spatial single-cell omics. We expect these efforts to significantly enhance both the depth and breadth of spatial single-cell analysis, providing the field with an AI-driven, high-performance computational framework. Our relevant findings have been published in top-tier international journals, including *Cell* and *Nature Methods*.

Microfluidic Single-Cell Proteomic Analysis / 微流控单细胞蛋白质组分析
报告摘要
This presentation describes the development of the pick-up single-cell proteome analysis (PiSPA) workflow and related instrument by the presenter’s group, building upon the microfluidic sequential operation droplet array (SODA) technique developed for automated nL-pL microfluid manipulation. By combining automated robotics and machine vision techniques with liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry, we constructed an automated single-cell proteome analysis platform that automatically realized the imaging and detection of cellular samples, intelligent cell identification, picking and transfer of target cells, sample pretreatment, liquid chromatography injection and separation, and high-sensitivity mass spectrometry detection. Recently, using the above approaches and instruments, we achieved in-depth single-cell proteomic analysis (up to 6000-7000 protein groups per cell), single-cell level analysis of immune cell-tumor cell interactions, analysis of tumor cell resistance, analysis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in clinical samples, as well as single-cell multi-omics analysis.

Strategies to Overcome Sensitivity and Throughput Bottlenecks in Single-Cell and Spatial Proteomics / 突破单细胞与空间蛋白质组学灵敏度与通量瓶颈的技术策略
报告摘要
Current single-cell and spatial proteomic studies face two core technical bottlenecks: insufficient sensitivity and limited throughput. Previous single-cell proteomics workflows adopt one-size-fits-all pipelines that poorly adapt to the distinct biological features of primary cells, resulting in compromised detection sensitivity and systematic loss of low-abundance functional proteins. To overcome this sensitivity limitation, we developed Tailored-SCP, an integrated framework for primary single-cell profiling. This method substantially elevates the detection efficiency of low-abundance proteins, increasing the median proteome depth of primary CD8+ T cells, neutrophils, and macrophages by approximately 40%. Applied to tumor-associated macrophages in murine melanoma, Tailored-SCP successfully uncovers multiple functionally distinct cell states driven by low-abundance regulatory proteins, precisely resolving the functional heterogeneity of in vivo primary immune cells previously obscured by sensitivity deficiencies.
Translating single-cell heterogeneity into intact tissue context demands high-throughput spatial proteomics, which remains a major technical challenge. Current spatial proteomic approaches require intensive mass spectrometry (MS) acquisition time, greatly hindering high-resolution and whole tissue slice proteome mapping. To address this throughput bottleneck, we developed a sparse sampling strategy for spatial proteomics (S4P) empowered by computationally assisted image reconstruction. This strategy drastically reduces MS acquisition workloads, cutting required sample numbers by tens to hundreds of folds. Leveraging S4P, we achieve ultra-deep spatial proteome coverage of over 9,000 proteins in the mouse brain and identify novel tissue regional and cellular markers.

High-Throughput Spatial Proteome Analysis by Bottom-up and Top-down Strategies / 基于bottom-up和top-down策略的高通量空间蛋白质组学
报告摘要
Spatially resolved proteome mapping of tissues is essential to understand physiological and pathology status. Laser capture microdissection (LCM) coupled to nanoLC-MS/MS is a powerful tool to correlate the proteome information with spatial distribution. However, it is of great challenge to balance the analysis throughput and the spatial resolution, limited by the nanoLC-MS/MS analysis of hundreds LCM slices. To solve this problem, we developed ordered colloidal crystal packed capillary columns to shorten the separation time. Contributed by the column efficiency up to 2 million theoretic plates/m, more than 4000 proteins were identified from protein digests equivalent to those from 30-μm resolved human liver FFPE slide within 2-min gradient. Also this techniques was applied to achieve the single-cell resolved spatial proteome analysis.
Furthermore, spatially resolved characterization of proteoforms has great potential to significantly advance our understanding of physiological and disease mechanisms. However, the coverage and accuracy for MS imaging of intact proteins needs improvement. Herein, we developed a robust method by combining MALDI-MS imaging and region-specific top-down proteomic analysis by narrow-bore monolithic capillary columns coupled to MS, yielding hundreds annotated proteoform images from the mouse brain. The obtained proteoform images revealed differential expression of individual proteoforms across the brain regions, and distinct spatial distribution patterns of various proteoforms generated from a single gene. Given its ability for proteoform visualization, this method was further applied to explore spatial pathological changes in AD mouses. Our results highlight the capacity of this strategy in unraveling the intricate molecular landscape of brain tissues and its potential in elucidating disease mechanisms.

When Will AI De Novo Peptide Sequencing Be Ready for Applications? An Immunopeptidomics Perspective
报告摘要
With advances in deep learning, mass spectrometry (MS)-based de novo peptide sequencing has shifted from combinatorial algorithms to AI-driven models, raising benchmark peptide recall from approximately 50% to 85-90%. Yet whether these models are ready for practical immunopeptidomics remains uncertain. To address this, we uniformly processed and rigorously curated 1,037 public HLA-I MS runs, generating more than 4.6 million high-confidence peptide-spectrum matches (PSMs) jointly supported by two independent database search engines. This resource enables a systematic assessment of model performance, strengths, and limitations in real-world immunopeptidomics.
We benchmarked pNovo+, Casanovo, InstaNovo+, pi-PrimeNovo, and RNovA on high-quality labeled spectra. InstaNovo+ achieved the highest recall (>92%) but with relatively slow prediction speed, whereas pi-PrimeNovo and RNovA each exceeded 80% recall with faster inference, revealing distinct trade-offs among current methods.
To move beyond conventional high-confidence benchmarks, we further constructed a controlled spectrum-quality perturbation dataset from the same high-quality spectra. By progressively removing and refilling peak subsets according to intensity, we simulated missing informative fragment ions, increased spectral noise, and reduced spectrum quality while keeping peptide identities traceable. This design establishes a fair, paired evaluation framework: database search and AI de novo models are challenged on the same perturbed spectra, enabling direct comparison of performance deterioration as spectral evidence degrades. Importantly, this dataset evaluates not only nominal recall but also robustness under realistic failure modes, thereby more faithfully reflecting the true practical capability and limitations of each model. All models showed marked performance loss as perturbation increased, especially when database search became unreliable or incorrect, indicating that current AI de novo sequencing tools are promising but not yet fully robust for large-scale real-world immunopeptidomics deployment.

AI for Mass Spectrometry Analysis in Glycoproteomics / 人工智能驱动的糖蛋白质组质谱分析
报告摘要
蛋白质糖基化修饰组成和结构的复杂性需要深度精准的质谱分析和数据解析工具。其中数据解析的关键在于如何从复杂体系中精准获取、识别和区分目标组分的谱学信息。报告人围绕糖蛋白质组质谱数据解析科学问题,开展人工智能与质谱分析交叉研究。传统数据解析流程是基于序列数据库生成理论参考信息,随后基于经验规则进行实验谱图与理论参考谱图的匹配。针对传统数据库缺失谱学特征问题,发展基于深度学习的谱图预测方法,特别是提出了编码糖链树形结构的新模型架构DeepGlyco,实现了糖基化肽段的色谱质谱特征预测,增强了糖链异构体的区分能力。进一步发展了基于多模态生成式模型的质谱图解析方法。区别于传统的数据库搜索匹配模式,该方法旨在通过深度学习将质谱图“翻译”为糖链结构,其核心在于利用对比学习实现质谱图与糖链结构的跨模态语义对齐。利用3000余种糖链的5万余张谱图进行跨模态生成测试,完整糖链结构生成准确率达到90%。
The complexity of protein glycosylation necessitates precise mass spectrometry (MS) analysis and robust informatics tools, particularly in accurately extracting, identifying, and discriminating spectral features of target components within complex systems. The presenter integrates artificial intelligence with MS analysis to innovate glycoproteomic informatics workflows. Traditional data analysis workflows typically generate theoretical reference spectra based on sequence databases, followed by matching experimental spectra with theoretical ones using empirical rules. To address the lack of spectral features in traditional databases, deep learning-based methods were developed for the prediction of spectral libraries for glycopeptides. In particular, a model architecture named DeepGlyco was introduced that can encode tree structures of glycans and enhance the differentiation of glycan isomers. Furthermore, a multimodal generative model was developed aiming at "translating" mass spectra into glycan structures via deep learning. Its core lies in achieving cross-modal semantic alignment between mass spectra and glycan structures using contrastive learning. Evaluated on over 50,000 spectra corresponding to more than 3,000 glycans, the method achieved over 90% accuracy in generating intact glycan structures.

A Unified Pre-trained Model Pushes the Limits of Mass Spectra Interpretation
报告摘要
Deep learning has advanced mass spectrometry data interpretation, yet most models remain feature extractors rather than unified scoring frameworks. We present pUniFind, a large-scale multimodal Foundational model in proteomics that integrates open end-to-end peptide-spectrum scoring with open, zero-shot de novo sequencing. Trained on over 100 million open search-derived spectra, pUniFind aligns spectral and peptide modalities through cross-modality prediction alongside other carefully designed pre-training tasks. Consequently, further benefiting from its open scoring capability, pUniFind outperforms traditional engines across diverse datasets, notably achieving a 42.6% increase in identified peptides in immunopeptidomics. We propose two de novo sequencing workflows to support different applications. For modification-rich de novo sequencing, pUniFind identifies 60% more PSMs than existing de novo methods despite a 300-fold larger search space.
For regular de novo sequencing, pUniFind recovers an additional 38.5% of peptides, including 1,891 that map to the genome but are absent from reference proteomes. Crucially, it achieves this while preserving full fragment ion coverage and maintaining high consistency with database search-based methods. Furthermore, a quality control module based on deep learning-derived features increases the consistency of results with RNA-seq evidence from 65.4% to 85.0%. These results establish a unified, scalable deep learning framework for proteomic analysis, offering improved sensitivity, modification coverage, and interpretability.

Enhancing Proteomics Data Analysis with AI / 人工智能赋能蛋白组学数据分析
报告摘要
With the rapid development of single-cell proteomics, spatial proteomics, and multi-omics technologies, life science research is entering a new era driven by high-dimensional, complex, and cell-resolved data. However, proteomics data remain challenging to analyze due to high noise levels, missing values, peptide-level uncertainty, batch effects, limited coverage, and complex spatial structures. Traditional bioinformatics approaches are often insufficient to fully capture the biological information embedded in such data. In this talk, titled “Enhancing Proteomics Data Analysis with AI,” I will introduce how artificial intelligence can advance proteomics data analysis through self-supervised learning, contrastive learning, graph neural networks, multimodal learning, and large foundation models. The talk will highlight recent research from Tencent AI for Life Sciences Lab, including single-cell proteomic representation learning, proteomics-based cell type deconvolution, spatial proteomics analysis, single-cell proteomic database construction, and proteoform landscape prediction. These studies demonstrate the potential of AI to improve data quality, resolution, integration, and interpretability in proteomics, providing powerful computational tools for understanding cell states, tumor microenvironments, and complex biological systems.

报告摘要
基于质谱技术的蛋白质组学研究已成为解析生命过程与疾病机制的核心工具,然而海量数据的深度解析与实验过程的质量控制仍是巨大挑战。本研究聚焦于质控指标提取、指标打分和问题定位等与实验质控相关的关键数据解析问题,优化DDA/DIA实验方案,并系统应用智能化质量控制方法对多中心、大队列实验进行实时监测与故障预警。通过构建“数据解析-质控保障”一体化框架,显著提升了蛋白质组定量数据的准确性与可重复性,为生物标志物发现、精准医疗及复杂生物系统解析提供了可靠的技术支撑。
Mass spectrometry-based proteomics has become a core tool for elucidating biological processes and disease mechanisms. However, in-depth analysis of large-scale data and quality control throughout experimental procedures remain major challenges. This study focuses on key data analysis issues related to experimental quality control, including the extraction of quality control metrics, metric scoring, and problem localization. We optimized DDA/DIA experimental workflows and systematically applied intelligent quality control methods to enable real-time monitoring and fault prediction in multi-center, large-cohort studies.

PTM-aware de novo peptide sequencing with OmniNovo / OmniNovo:面向翻译后修饰肽段的 de novo 测序方法
报告摘要
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) expand protein function and encode regulatory information, but their large-scale identification remains limited by database-dependent search strategies that require predefined modification spaces. OmniNovo is a unified deep-learning framework for PTM-aware de novo peptide sequencing from tandem mass spectra. By representing modifications as independent tokens, OmniNovo analyzes peptides carrying diverse PTM types without per-modification fine-tuning. It further combines mass- and modification-constrained decoding with calibrated confidence scoring. Trained on 51.8 million peptide-spectrum matches covering 11 modification types, OmniNovo improves modified peptide identification across benchmark datasets and phosphoproteomics analyses, while maintaining controlled error rates. These results suggest that PTM-aware de novo sequencing can complement database search and help recover low-abundance regulatory modification signals.
翻译后修饰拓展了蛋白质功能并承载重要的调控信息,但其大规模鉴定仍受到数据库搜索策略的限制,尤其依赖预先定义的修饰搜索空间。OmniNovo 是一个面向翻译后修饰肽段的统一深度学习 de novo 测序框架,可直接从串联质谱数据中解析修饰肽段序列。通过将修饰表示为独立 token,OmniNovo 能够在无需针对单一修饰类型分别微调的情况下分析多种 PTM。模型进一步结合质量与修饰约束解码,以及校准后的置信度评分。OmniNovo 在多个修饰肽段基准和磷酸化蛋白质组分析中提高了肽段鉴定能力,并保持了较好的错误率控制。这些结果表明,PTM-aware de novo 测序可作为数据库搜索的互补策略,用于辅助恢复低丰度调控性修饰信号。

报告题目:可验证虚拟细胞体系与自进化 AI 智能体
报告摘要:人工智能所能提出的生物学假设,正远远超过实验所能检验的数量;科学发现真正的瓶颈,已从 "如何生成" 转向 "如何验证"。要让 AI 真正参与发现,就必须让它的预测、所指向的生物学靶点、乃至它自身的判断标准,都接受实验的检验。围绕这一思路,本报告介绍三项相互衔接的工作。我们首先系统评测了 "虚拟细胞" 基础模型预测细胞扰动响应的能力,发现更大、更复杂的模型未必稳定胜过简单的线性基线,常用指标还常常制造出看似优异的假象,说明现有虚拟细胞在表示与可验证性上仍显不足。为此,我们提出 RVQ-Alpha,将单个细胞压缩为少量可供大语言模型读取与生成的离散词元,其码本会沿生物学层级自发组织,印证了 "更好的压缩即更好的表示"。在此之上,我们构建了面向免疫衰老药物再利用的智能体 AgingAgent,它会分别核验自己的预测、所锚定的衰老表型,以及自身的打分标准,并在 T 细胞实验中得到前瞻验证,使 "何为理想候选" 这一发现目标本身也能被实验修正。最后,我们展望一种以真实数据为根基的自主科研范式 —— 让 AI 先复现已有研究,再从复现暴露的矛盾中提出新的、可检验的假设,朝着可信、能够自我修正进化的 "AI 科学家" 迈进。

报告题目:Decoding Spatial Gene Regulatory Logic with STARNet
报告摘要:Biological tissues are composed of distinct microenvironments that spatially orchestrate gene expression and cell identity. However, the regulatory principles governing domain-specific cellular functions remain poorly understood due to the lack of effective methods for mapping gene regulatory networks (GRNs) in situ. To address this gap, we introduce STARNet, a representation learning approach that leverages heterogeneous hypergraph modeling of spatial transcriptomic and epigenomic data to resolve tissue-domain–specific regulatory interactions. By integrating graph neural networks with contrastive learning in a self-supervised framework, STARNet learns unified embeddings that preserve both multi-modal molecular features and anatomical spatial context, enabling accurate and domain-resolved GRN reconstruction within complex tissues. Benchmarking on both simulated and real datasets demonstrates that STARNet achieves state-of-the-art performance. We further demonstrate its broad applicability across diverse biological contexts, including neural development, genetic disease risk, and drug-induced developmental toxicity. In the mouse brain, it delineates region-specific regulatory networks and reconstructs spatiotemporal programs underlying neural stem cell differentiation. In human genetics, it provides a mechanistic link between genotypes and phenotypes by showing how genome-wide association study (GWAS) variants for complex diseases perturb hippocampus-specific GRNs. In developmental toxicology, STARNet reveals that drug-induced disruptions of GRNs in defined embryonic regions underlie tissue-specific vulnerability. Collectively, STARNet offers a powerful and versatile framework for resolving the spatial regulatory logic of complex tissues, providing multi-angle insights into tissue patterning, development, and disease mechanisms.

报告摘要:构建可模拟细胞生化过程的计算虚拟细胞模型,是分子和细胞生物学、计算生物学以及系统生物学领域的一些科学家多年追求的目标。近年来,随着单细胞转录组学和其他组学数据的大量积累,以及人工智能基础模型的革命性突破,在单细胞基础模型启发下,学术界和产业界掀起了构建虚拟细胞的人工智能模型(AIVC)的热潮。在很多快速发展的领域中,人们常常用同一个词来表达不同的含义,或者用不同的词来表达相同的含义,这 AIVC 领域也不例外。本报告将回顾构建虚拟细胞的两种主要方法及其演进,讨论其中存在的问题,并分享我们在用 AI 基础模型和生物学可解释 AI 模型构建原型 AIVC 模型方面的实践。
Building computational virtual models of cells that can simulate the biochemical processes of cells has been a long-standing goal for many scientists in the fields of molecular and cell biology, computational biology, and systems biology. Recently, the unprecedented accumulation of massive single-cell transcriptomics and other omics data, together with the revolutionary breakthrough in AI foundation models, have aroused a new wave for building AI models of virtual cells or AIVCs. As a common phenomenon in a rapidly developing field, people often use the same word to mean different things and also use different words to mean the same thing. This talk will provide an overview of the two major approaches for building virtual cells, discuss open questions in the field, and share our practices in building prototypic AIVC models with AI foundation models and biology-aware interpretable AI models.

报告题目:AI 虚拟细胞:模型进展与评估反思 AI Virtual Cells: Model Progress and Reflections on Evaluation
报告摘要:本报告围绕 AI 虚拟细胞展开,介绍其定义、发展脉络、代表性技术路线、评测挑战与未来基础设施。随着单细胞组学和 Perturb-seq 等扰动数据快速积累,以及 scGPT、Geneformer、STATE 等基础模型的发展,虚拟细胞正从概念验证逐步走向工程化体系,模型能力开始具备可比较与可验证的基础。
当前虚拟细胞主要包括机理型模型、结构 / 空间型模型和数据驱动状态型模型三类范式,其中后者已成为主流方向,重点关注利用大规模单细胞与扰动数据预测细胞状态变化。SCALE 将扰动预测从 cell-wise regression 扩展到 population-level conditional transport learning,强调群体状态迁移。VCBench 则通过 unseen cells、unseen perturbations 和 cross-dataset merging 等真实泛化场景表明:随机划分往往高估模型性能,平均重构指标难以证明模型理解了 perturbation-specific response,而简单的数据集合并也未必带来收益。因此,模型评估与选择应结合具体应用场景、生物学目标和泛化能力,而非依赖单一排行榜。
整体而言,虚拟细胞真正落地仍面临三项关键挑战:跨尺度生物信息整合能力不足、可信 benchmark 体系尚不完善,以及计算预测与实验验证之间缺乏高效闭环。其核心价值不在于训练更大的模型,而在于构建一个可连接、可比较、可证伪、可持续演化的生物智能基础设施。
This report reviews AI virtual cells, including their evolution, major modeling paradigms, benchmarking challenges, and future infrastructure. Driven by the rapid growth of single-cell and perturbation datasets, together with foundation models such as scGPT, Geneformer, and STATE, virtual cells are gradually evolving from conceptual frameworks into scalable computational systems.
Current approaches can be broadly categorized into mechanistic, structural/spatial, and data-driven cell-state models, with recent efforts focusing on predicting cellular responses from large-scale perturbation data. Representative studies such as SCALE highlight population-level state transition learning, while VCBench demonstrates that random data splits often overestimate performance, reconstruction metrics alone cannot verify perturbation-specific understanding, and naive dataset integration may not improve generalization. These findings suggest that model evaluation and selection should be guided by biological objectives and real-world deployment scenarios rather than leaderboard rankings alone.
Looking forward, virtual cells still face major challenges in cross-scale biological integration, trustworthy benchmarking, and the coupling of computational prediction with experimental validation. Ultimately, their value lies not in building larger models, but in establishing a connectable, comparable, falsifiable, and continuously evolving biological intelligence infrastructure.
In this talk, I will introduce PerturbDiff, a functional diffusion framework for single-cell perturbation modeling. PerturbDiff shifts the modeling target from individual cells to entire cell distributions. By embedding empirical cell distributions into a reproducing kernel Hilbert space via kernel mean embeddings, PerturbDiff defines a diffusion-based generative process directly over probability distributions. This formulation naturally induces an MMD-based distribution alignment objective and enables the model to capture population-level response variability. Experiments on signaling, drug, and genetic perturbation benchmarks, including PBMC, Tahoe100M, and Replogle, show strong performance, especially in recovering perturbation-driven differential expression patterns and adapting to low-data regimes.

报告题目:A World Model of the Virtual Cell
报告摘要:The outlook of an AI-driven digital organism, such as a virtual cell, has recently captivated much excitement and imagination from both AI and Biology communities. With a virtual cell, one can anticipate a paradigm shift of cell biology research from trial-and-error experimental exploration with cell-culture models in a wet lab, to systematic simulation of any combinatorial interventions with a computational model in a digital lab. But what constitutes an adequate realization of virtual cell? In this paper we propose an operational definition of the virtual cell based on World Model — a modern architecture recently emerged in AI research that supports advanced capabilities such as action-conditioned simulation, counterfactual reasoning, and long-horizon planning in complex dynamic environments. A world model is an AI-driven generative software system that outputs all world-possibilities upon action-prompts for simulative reasoning. When applied to biological scenarios, a world model of the virtual cell is a generative model that simulates biological possibilities of a cell under any natural or artificial interventions of the cell, or a cell population (within a tissue type or an organ). A virtual cell world model (VCWM) contrasts predictive foundation models on specific tasks, such as gene-expression perturbation prediction, as seen in some recent definitions of the virtual cell. We present a novel architecture for such a world model that enables simulated cell as an end-to-end platform: from actionable biological prompts to anticipated outcomes at all levels — molecular, structural, interactional, and morphological, in a fully aligned, integrative, multi-modal, and multi-scale fashion. We envisage that the VCWM paradigm will not simply accelerate biological experimentation, but may transform how biological possibility is explored, shifting discovery from exhaustive experimental search to structured navigation within learned cellular worlds, bringing biology closer to an industrial age of predictive design and programmable systems.

个人简介:I am Chair of Synthetic Genomics at the University of Manchester, where my research explores how we can design and build genomes to understand and engineer biology. My work sits at the intersection of synthetic biology, genetics and bioengineering, with a particular focus on rewriting genomes to uncover their fundamental principles and unlock new applications.
Understanding how genome structure influences function, from gene regulation to evolution, and how we can use this knowledge to construct synthetic chromosomes with novel properties is of particular interest. Much of my work involves developing new tools for large-scale DNA assembly, genome rewriting and automated design-build-test cycles. My group is deeply involved in the international Synthetic Yeast Genome (Sc2.0) project, and we have helped pioneer some of the foundational technologies for synthetic eukaryotic genomics. At the LMB, my group collaborates with Julian Sale and Tom Ellis to redesign and resynthesise human chromosomes.
I am passionate about pushing the boundaries of what is possible in genome-scale engineering, not only to understand life at a systems level, but also to build new biological platforms for health, agriculture and sustainability. I have been fortunate to publish widely in leading journals, but what drives me most is the chance to rethink how biology works and explore how we might reimagine it.

报告题目:Toward Predictive Virtual Cells: Organelle Contact Pharmacology and Spatial Pharmacology for Next-Generation Drug Discovery
报告摘要:The emerging concept of virtual cells is transforming biomedical research by aiming to generate predictive digital models that simulate cellular behavior under physiological and pharmacological conditions. Achieving this vision requires more than comprehensive molecular inventories; it demands quantitative understanding of the dynamic spatial organization that governs intracellular communication.
In this lecture, I will present our recent efforts to establish an experimental framework for spatial pharmacology, focusing on how organelle communication networks determine drug responses. Building upon our recent perspective (Trends Pharmacol Sci, 2026, doi: 10.1016/j.tips.2026.02.008), I will introduce the concept of Organelle Contact Pharmacology, which proposes membrane contact sites (MCSs) as dynamic therapeutic targets that coordinate signaling, metabolism, autophagy, and stress adaptation.
I will then present several recent studies illustrating how chemical proteomics and mass spectrometry imaging enable direct visualization of drug actions within organelle communication networks. These include identifying drug–target interactions of mitochondria-associated membrane (MAM)-perturbing compounds and mapping tissue-level drug localization, providing molecular insights into where drugs act and how they remodel intracellular signaling networks.
Finally, I will discuss how integrating organelle contact biology with chemical proteomics, spatial proteomics, and multimodal imaging can provide the experimental foundation for future predictive virtual cells. Rather than serving as static digital reconstructions, next-generation virtual cells should incorporate dynamic organelle communication networks to simulate pharmacological perturbations and accelerate mechanism-driven drug discovery and precision medicine.

报告题目:A Systems-Evolutionary Strategy to Model a Yeast Virtual Cell
报告摘要:The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (henceforth ‘yeast’) evolved from ancestors that underwent two fundamental innovations, resulting in it becoming a central model of eukaryotic biology, and a tool for applications in systems biology and drug discovery. First, a yeast ancestor lost genes that stabilize the genome 300 million years ago, resulting in higher rates of mutation and meiotic recombination resulting in higher rates of speciation, and second, a whole genome duplication 100 million years ago that expanded the yeast repertoire of signaling and metabolic processing mechanisms. This innovation allowed yeast to adapt to a complex new nutrient source, fruiting plants, that evolved at about the same time. In this presentation, I will describe how we plan to harness the lifestyle of yeast, exposing it to shifting nutrient sources that mimic the changes occurring in metabolites as a fruit matures, and monitoring changes in signaling, metabolic flux, and allosteric regulation, in order to generate a generative neural network to model the natural processes that yeast uses to adapt to changing environments. We anticipate that the resulting model will aid in predicting the means to engineer yeast to produce desired metabolites for production of fuels, drugs and other chemical products, and identify metabolite allosteric regulation of enzymes that are targets in metabolic diseases and cancers.
